Today I'm going to make some chili and add in some shredded zucchini and a few tomatoes that I couldn't use quite fast enough :) I still have a few apples left and no room to freeze anymore. I think I'll make one more batch of sauce and maybe 2 more loaves of apple bread to share. That OUGHT to get me to the bottom of my bushel!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084627553585504389.post-437847264149780402013-08-08T18:48:42.800-07:002013-08-08T18:48:42.800-07:00Hi Rebecca, I've done up apples into an apple ...Hi Rebecca, I've done up apples into an apple crisp from my tree today and cooked up a pot of green bean soup with the green beans from my son's garden. We also had cukes in sour cream. Of course I had to have corn bread with that! It's fun to cook with produce from other peoples gardens.<br />Your applesauce sounds so good, I don't know if I'll get enough apples from my tree for that though.

A crockpot, why didn't I think of that? We usually get a care package or two of apples from friends later in the fall. I'll be trying your method for applesauce when the time comes.

It just depends on the apples whether or not I add sugar. Since I use what I'm given (and really don't make applesauce otherwise) I don't have a favorite kind of apples for applesauce. I prefer a little tart, though.
